Install a Fusion Cluster

To support enterprise search applications at any scale, install Fusion on multiple nodes (a Fusion cluster). Deployed in this manner, Fusion can store large amounts of data and achieve high processing throughput.

Note

Historically, "node" has also had a meaning at Lucidworks related to licensing and to the number of CPU cores. We don’t mean that here. In the context of this documentation "node" is a computer, usually a physical server but also possibly a virtual machine (especially for test environments).

Install Fusion Server with Bundled Solr and ZooKeeper

When you install Fusion Server, the software includes bundled versions of Solr and ZooKeeper. Install Fusion on every node. Then, configure Fusion so that it doesn’t start Solr and ZooKeeper on nodes where they aren’t needed.
